THE FIRST SNAKE STORY OF TIE
SEASON. jacob kerstctter of Penn
township, comes To the front with the
first snake story. While ut work on
one of his fences the other day, he hap
pened to stir up heap of brush and
leaves and discovered nest of snakes
beneath it, containing seven reptiles OF
the garter species. We think he said
they varied in size from two TO live-or
lifteen-feet, we forget exactly which,
but any ways his find was not rs pleas
ant and agreeable rs if he had kicked
against n bag of gold. Ii we had been
there we'd likely have felt like saying
"let 'er go Gallagher"
To TIE PUBLIC.-A report has been
circulated that the machinery in our
mill is worn out, especially the Burr
used for making flour. We take this
means of declaring the report utterly
false. We challenge any one in this
part of the county 10 produce II better
sett of Burrs than we have in our mill
for the manufacture of flour and chop.
We would just say that if any person
doubts our word let them give our new
miller, J. II. McDivitt, II trial, or come
and see for themselves and be cOnyinced
of the untruth of said report. Mr..
McDevitt intends to run Il wagon week
ly in this place, us well rs to Aarons-
burg, Coburn and Madisonburg.
Thanking the people for past patronage
we solicit continuance Of the same.
Respectfully,
lS-4t L. G. CAMPBELL Il Son.
-Millheim is beginning to have its
labor troubles as well rs other towns in
the Union. On Monday morning We
had miniature strike in this place.
The seventeen of Crawford's knitting
factory hands struck for wages. Some
had been working on trial for the past
six weeks, during which time no wages
were paid them. On said morning the
hands considered their work worth pay
and n demand for wages was made.
Tho manufacturer granted their de-
mauds, but laid down certain condi-
tions which the hands refused TO recog-
nize and went out. We are pleased to
state that the difficulty was adjusted
the following day and that most of the
khitters went back TO work. Every
thing is running smoothly again.
j. II. Bibby the well-known hotel
man of Spring Mills, was down last
week ard extended an urgent invita-
ton to We inkslinger to take dinner
with him, an invitation which half
starved country editor never refuses,
and we, us & Co. complied with his re-
quest the other day, being accompanied
by E. II. Long and family to take care
of us. To make long story short we
would just say that Mr.. Bibby and his
estimable lady know to perfection how
to get up a delicious meal and how to
make their guests feel at their ease.
Consequently the Bibby House enjoys IA
splendid run and is headquarters for
summer guests during the warm sum-
mer months. Many improvements
have been made in and about the hotel
CT late aud to make the accommoda-
tions complete the house has been Ii
censed this spring. Mr.. Bibby justly
anticipates a better season than ever,
and we are sure he deserves to be sue
cessful.
advertising is the soul of trade.
AS all mercantile and mocha lical pur-
suits strive to increase and prosper, the
knowledge of their location and the ma
ture Of their business must be heralded
abroad. For the attainment OF this
end they must seek the printer. The
columns of the home newspaper are the
proper channel through which mer-
chants and mechanics must let the pub
lie know what they have and what they
are doing, and where they carry on bus
mess. And right here we would re-
mind business men in this section that
the JOURNAL is splendid advertising
medium because it reaches nearly every
home in these valleys. We do not be-
lieve in giving enormous and extraya-
CANT figures about the circulation of the
paper, but il is very fair one all the
same and we need not be ashamed of it.
An ounce of fact is worth a pound of
buster and hrag every day, and we are
always ready to lay open our subscrlp-
tion list for the inspection of advertis-
ers. Try Us.
whats the matter with Mill
helm ?" is question frequently asked
when reference is made to the license
matter. 1t was surprise to nearly ey-
erybody when the news reached here
that both applicants for license in this
town had been refused. Now, as far as
we are concerned personally we care not
a particle whether there is liqOur il
